Coals

Coals is a Belgian graphic design studio founded in 2023 by Kaat, a designer with a decade of experience at both small creative studios and large advertising agencies. The studio's tagline, "Graphic design that cuts through the noise," reflects its focus on bold, impactful visual communication. Coals is headquartered in Gooik, Pajottegem, Belgium, and operates with a team of under 49 employees.

Kaat began her career in 2015 at Cartamundi Digital near Ghent, focusing on digital design. She later joined advertising agencies Boondoggle and Mortierbrigade, where she helped major clients stand out through new campaigns and branding. Alongside her agency work, she freelanced for other studios including Hotel Hungaria and Bridgeneers. This blend of small-studio agility and big-agency polish shapes Coals' hands-on work ethic.
